Cristina Martinez Print Poet Blouse

This top (and skirt) was love at first sight. The smalls were sold out, so I thought I’d missed out on an opportunity to order it. A few weeks later, the shirt and skirt popped up in my social media ad feed and I decided to roll the dice and order the XS for the top. It fits perfect, but it does hang a bit if you wear it off shoulder. It’s not snug, but it doesn’t bother me at al. I’m so glad took the gamble. It looks so good on me. I love it!

This little top is so cute. The material is soft and thin- not at all like that crunchy poplin cotton that never feels summer friendly to me! The ties on the sleeves are feminine, and the print is fun and different. Also love the ruffle at the top. On the negative side though, the sleeves seem like they might fall off the shoulders when sitting, and the sleeves really only look cute ON the shoulder with this top in my opinion. It’s also cropped, but not too short to tuck into the front of a pair of high waisted bottoms. Overall very cute!

When I first received it, one of the bow sleeves was drawn so tight I couldn't get my hand through and it was actually quite hard to undo and loosen it. Otherwise, it's a great shirt. I have the doodle print, which is unique enough that I don't have to worry about seeing anyone else with it. The fabric is breezy enough for a summer day, but feels like it may be warm enough when the weather drops in a few weeks to stay in rotation. It hits right below the navel, so it feels like a crop if you're moving around a lot. I didn't have any issue with it staying in the on or off-the-shoulder position, but I also have broad shoulders.
